Easter Naturals

Do you enjoy natural elements on the table?

My Easter tablescape features natural elements that remind me of a walk in the woods or along a garden path on a warm Spring day. Bring your basket in case you want to pick something!

I stopped in Pier 1 looking for a wreath for my daughter's Easter table and found the basket above and the nests below. I'll show you her wreath later. 

I couldn't resist the nests with their natural look. I continued the natural elements with the woven chargers under the Fiesta bowl and plate. 

The etched green stemware is a bit more elegant but works so well with the green eggs in the basket and nests. I used the same stemware on my Hoppy Easter tablescape seen here. 

Green and yellow eggs plus dainty yellow, purple and hot pink flowers fill the nests and basket. 

The three tumbling rabbits beneath the basket are Fitz and Floyd. The purple pansies they are holding bring a little more purple to the table.

The table is ready, now I'm just waiting for family to arrive. 

I like extra purple napkins beneath the Fiesta bowl. It really makes the purple flowers in the baskets pop. My flatware belonged to my Mom and is the Daffodil Pattern by 1847 Rogers.

Susan over at BNOTP mentioned decorated cookies from Big Lots. I liked the ones she was featuring so I stopped in Big Lots in my area and found these cute decorated Easter baskets. Thanks for the tip Susan!!

My Easter Naturals table is topped off with green cloth napkins and wooden napkin rings. Two napkin choices must be better than one.

I hope you are planning an Easter celebration with your family or friends - Judy.

Before They're Gone

I was shopping this morning and stopped to look in the fresh flower section at the supermarket. I had yellow flowers on my mind, then I saw these white tulips and noticed the price was marked down to under $3.00 a bunch. Yes, they were drooping just a little but I thought they would look perfect in a vase. Into my cart they went along with a second bunch of them for the same price. Take a look at the tulips used as the centerpiece in my tablescape.

I just love how the tulips are drooping over the vase. I did cut the bottom of the stems as soon as I got them home for better water absorption but I don't mind their bending at all. They look quite elegant bending down.

I doubled my napkins and used a green one inside the yellow one for fullness. The napkin rings are a yellow flower with a green center.

Let's add some candles and think about the food and drinks for this evening.

We will start the dinner with a glass of wine and share our stories from the week. Next we will have a light salad, then I have chosen a meal from the Barefoot Contessa's menus. 

This family dinner Menu is:

Parmesan Chicken 

Roasted Cherry Tomatoes

Foccacia Bread 

Croissant Bread Pudding for dessert

Thanks for stopping by to see my tablescape with white tulips "Before They're Gone". Please take time to leave a message and join my blog. Hope you can stop by again - Judy.
